Get a seperate adjustable fan controller - they run anywhere from $35 on up into the $100+, just depends on what bells and whistles you want. Then you can adjust at what temp the fan comes on.

Use the fan circuit from a TBI car

http://www.austinthirdgen.org/mkport...an_V8_vinE.jpg

It uses a thermal switch in the pass cyl head instead of being commanded by the ECM. IIRC Hypertech offers multiple thermal switches closing at different temperatures. It may be a different company though

To get this to run even when the car is off, switch the fused 12v IGN to fused 12v battery
